Sway bar will do nothing for rear end sagging. You may need some airbags, or Timbren rubber springs.

It will help with how the X tracks while towing. It is a night and day change in general ride quality too with the rear sway bar. Just make sure when you install it, that it is centered over the differential. I got mine from JC Whitney for $150 including shipping. I tow a 28ft Travel Trailer and it made a world of difference. If you need help installing it I can take a few pics so you can at least see how it looks after installation. I can email them to you or try and post them to the forum. Its really easy to install but a little word of warning, the directions that came with the sway bar from Hellwig were awful, I could barely read them. Luckily I know a ford master mechanic that helped me out.

I also installed a set of new shocks too which also helped alot.

I tow with an equalizer tow bar which brings the weight off the tounge of the trailer and distributes it over the entire length of the X and trailer, that's what eliminated the sag in the back on my rig.

Hope this helps,

Jeff
